College assists in placements.
I recommend my college to every one.THEY Provide a very good learning atmosphere.
This course curriculum is spread across and can be hectic due to its submissions and worksheets lined up. Students have to present their designs in front of jury and towards the end of this 5 years course, they've to write a thesis as prescribed by the college.
This course is of 4 year duration and aims at teaching students in great detail about crafts, new ideas and the use of technology in today's time in the field of designing. Exams happen semester wise and students are prepared as future entrepreneurs too.
Best college of architecture in kerala.Best faculties and best participation in extra carricular activities.Best college campus and healthy food provided for students.Drawbacks like expensive and lot of money required to study.Surrounding context is not so good.
The course is interesting at the same time it's tiring. It does not offer alot of free time to the students which might lead upto backing out. But if you a veeative thinker and can sit hours and hours on your work, it's perfect for you. The College is based on KTU rules, which at strict with attendance and marks.
our college has a very nice building and outdoor spaces etc. but the space isnt actually enough accommodate about 700 students and their faculties. but the spaces are well designed and different from what we usually see.
